The Europa domain (or "Europa") refers to the second level domain europa.eu. It belongs to the '.eu' top level domain established by Regulation EC 733/2002 and managed by DG Communication on behalf of all EU institutions.
To ensure the coherence, relevance and cost-effectiveness of the Commission’s overall web presence, the EU institutions decided to create a dedicated subdomain on the ‘.eu’ internet domain for their web presence, managed by DG COMM A.2 under the authority of several governance bodies.
DG Communication, as the domain leader for external communication, is mandated by the Commission to take emergency actions concerning content on the Europa domain.
